I have this large Chinese chest that serves as the catch-all for a variety of trinkets, knickknacks and curious junk. Every six months or so I open it to add new things or take things out. (It's very similar to opening the ornament box at Xmas.) After this move, I was searching for colorful things to display on my bookcase. The Chinese hat with the pink pompoms is once again my favorite. This is how it looks now:
Do you have a box like this?

I absolutely have a box like this!! I have those photo boxes from the craft stores with like designs on them! I keep all my lil trinkets in there too!! =)
Cute chinese hat!!
Yes! I have little trinkets and things that have meaning to me. I am just a sentimental person. I think when I am old and lose my marbles I will turn into a crazy hoarder.
I have so many different boxes for trinkets and special items (i.e. change and keys and fun stuff like that). I think that old cigar boxes work wonders and are totally chic too.
Great post!

Oh yes. I think it's called my house. The husband threatens to organise...
Well, um, I must confess I have more than a "box" like that at my house. There are trinkets stored and stashed here and there and everywhere. Quirks I can't leave out all the time, but that add a touch of the personal & unexpected as needed. I love what you did with the little hat! Literally the crowning touch.
i do not have a box like this... i have a room like this! i have a vintage home store and so i use this room as the transition room... things go in, things come out... and then go into the store...
so happy to have discovered your blog... only question is ... what took me so long?????

Darling, I have a WINDOWSEAT like this! xD
Yeah I have a box similar to this, but I only keep very senitmental, family/friend related trinkets in it. I think we all have a place where we keep our little treasures :)
You have an amazing collection of trinkets. :O What a collection.
i wish! pretty smart idea!
i have too many junk drawers. they are relatively organized, but i could make them better!
I have a drawer like this. But a treasure box is so much more fun! I'm switching over.
How sweet does the hat look? You seem to have an affinity for Asian style no? I do have a box like this, however it's a shoe box with no lid, not very beautiful! So I hide it in my top drawer. I wish I had something large and vintage like a chest that I could put on display
Lovely idea,I'm going to look out for a big trunk instead of shoving everything in the garage.
